What can you expect?
- After registering your interest with us, we will confirm the appointment time and date, and the contact details of the attorney you will meet.
- During the half hour meeting, we will assess your IP situation and potential requirements, based on the information you provide to us either during the meeting or beforehand. We will also advise a way forward, with cost estimates and timescales, if applicable to your situation and requirements.
- The clinic is conducted by our attorneys, so your discussion and any material you disclose to us at the meeting or beforehand remains strictly confidential and priviledged.
